Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The review presents data on the creation of complex microbial preparations and their application in agricultural practice. According to economists, the turnover in the field of organic agriculture is worth 85-90 billion US dollars a year. Developers of biological products pay great attention to the creation of complex biofertilizers, which contribute to a stable 20-25% increase in yield, with a significant reduction of plant damage by root rot. Among the considered positive effects of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) on plants are the ability to fix molecular nitrogen from the atmosphere, the synthesis of hormonal and fungitoxic substances, and the mobilization of sparingly soluble soil phosphates. The presented data show promise for the use of these microorganisms in the development of eco-friendly farming technologies in order to increase plant productivity and establish biocontrol over the development of plant diseases, reduce the chemical load on the soil, and increase its fertility.
